In the aftermath of the Becky Herbst firing and rehiring, two others have been let go by the powers that be. Tyler Christopher was informed by the execs at General Hospital that when his contract runs out in June he will not be offered a new one. On March 24, Christopher tweeted the following statements: "Seems to b some misconception that it was my choice to leave gh to go and do the lying game. Not so. I was let go unconditionally." "Just want to set the record straight so people can stop congratulating me." Christopher had been very frank about the recurring role he landed on ABC Family's "The Lying Game" but also stated he had no plans to leave General Hospital. On the heels of him being let go, we also learned Nikolas Cassadine's leading lady, Brook Lynn will also be written out of the show as portrayer Adrianna Leon was also given her walking papers.
Leon didn't seem as surprised by the news considering her return to the popular soap was not under contract status. It is rumored that her character will be leaving Port Charles to go on tour. Both Nikolas and Brook Lynn have real ties to General Hospital history. Not only is Nik the son of Laura Spencer, but his grandmother Helena is the force behind one of the longest family feuds in soap history - the Spencers and Cassadines. Brook is the daughter of Ned and Lois Ashton, granddaughter to Tracy Quartermaine, one of GH's families with the richest history. One has to wonder or guess that when TPTB decided to rehire Herbst that they decided to relieve Christopher and Leon of their duties to help save some money in these rough economic times. Also, on screen, the viewers are about to see Liz learn the truth about her latest son's paternity - he is really Lucky's son, not Nik's.
It's hard to fathom seeing more characters with history on the show leaving instead of TIIC learning to write for them and keep their stories fresh and exciting. The pairing of Nik and Brook seemed to be registering well with the fans. Some say they were the best pairing for Nik since his days with Emily. I'm really upset that the execs at GH/ABC keep firing characters with true ties to the show and keep bringing in newbies that may or may not have an impact at some point in time. What do you think of GH letting Christopher and Leon go? Would you like to see either role recast? Were you getting into the pairing? Don't just voice your opinions here also call ABC: (818) 460-7477; press 1, then 2, then 3, then 464.
